Part twenty-nine

Three weeks later

Everyone gathered at Anika's house, after the funeral. Cordel and some of Rick's family helped pass out the food. Anika keep everything in line. " Are you okay" Cordel asked Anika walking up to her. She was staring at a picture of her and Rick. "I'm trying to be, only thing going through my mind is, that he's really gone" Anika said with a dry voice. He was just here getting ready for work, hugging his kids and now, he's gone. Away from me away from his children. I am only one person, from here on out it's going to be hard on me and the kids. Me and Rick we did everything together, including Financing. "You know whatever you need help with I'm here for you?" Cordell said. Thank you, but I want ask you to. I'll just do the best I can, well make it. "No I insist, Rick was my boy, my bro and I just don't understand why I'm here and he's not. I should be gone, I should be dead" Cordell said in grief and remorse. " Look, it's not your fault, you're here because it wasn't your time. Rick wouldn't want you blaming and hurting yourself like this. He still love you" Anika said trying to console Cordel. Thank you but right now I just don't hear it. Whatever I do in life, It'll be for him my only brother gone and I should've been with him. Anika pulled Cordel in for a hug, Cordel hugged her back dropping a few tears.
